对今日诗句的想法
惧怕会削弱我们的意志力,使我们感到空虚、毫无盼望。以赛亚传盼望的信息给百姓,而我们中间很少人真正经历他们所遭受的彻底而痛苦的惨败。以色列在惊恐中得以存留到主耶稣时代;当看似惨败时,主耶稣从死里复活;教会从数世纪的逼迫与敌对中得胜,这些都是强有力的提醒——在我们背后,是大能、慈爱之神永恒的臂膀,他将最终带领我们分享他永恒的胜利。
Thoughts on Today's Verse...
Fear saps our willpower and leaves us feeling depleted and hopeless. Feeling depressed, discouraged, and dismayed saps our emotional resources and takes the passion out of our spiritual service. Yet very few of us have ever experienced a defeat so complete and bitter as the one God's people faced when Isaiah shared this message of hope. The preservation of Israel through their horrors of defeat, humiliation, and loss from the exiles until the time of Jesus is a centuries-long reminder of God's miraculous and faithful fulfillment of his promises. When all appeared lost, the ongoing survival and triumph of Jesus' disciples through centuries of persecution and opposition powerfully remind us that underneath us are the everlasting arms (Deuteronomy 33:27) of a mighty and loving God who will ultimately bring us to share in his eternal victory by the power of his "righteous right hand".
我的祷告
全能、永生的天父啊,知道你永远同在,这是何等甘甜的安慰啊!感谢你永远同在并保障我的得胜!奉主耶稣之名祈求,阿们!
My Prayer...
Almighty and Eternal Father, we find such sweet comfort in knowing that you are always there to be with us, to sustain us, and to uphold us in your loving arms of strength and mercy. Thank you for always being present in our lives and in our world, guaranteeing our victory!* In Jesus' name, we believe and trust in you. Amen.
*Romans 8:32-39 is a great reminder of these truths!
